My Name is
Augustine
Augustine
Augustine, his twin brother, Augustus, and older brother, Gideon, were left as orphans when their mother died of typhoid fever in January 2010. Their father died in 2009. Their aunt then took care of the three boys but she had no source of income and could not provide for their needs. She asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. The boys arrived at their new home August 2010. His favorite verses are Proverbs 3:5-6 because they help him trust the Lord.
